trimble business center tip | working with the plane manager

2D planes in TBC allow us to obtain geometric information regarding 3D models and/or geospatial data.

This is possible by creating cutting planes that we can define in the 3D space where our model is located, and thus extract information that will allow us to create 2D CAD deliverables.
